Correct, the Israeli government is not honest. However, they do have quite a lot of reach.

Clearly not that important if your 'friend' can't be arsed to turn up when they said they would.

Do they? I have seen quite rabid responses from Israeli government sources to any kind of criticism, however phrased.

Don't sit on the fence, mate. tell us what you really think.

"Small boat crossings are still increasing" reports the BBC's flagship Radio 4 Today programme.

Editors could check BBC Verify, which reports they are down 35% year on year. The trend began Sept 2025, though crossings rose before that, but falling for over 6 months now if compared like with like.

Thick, or what? I own two houses & cheerfully pay the additional tax on one of them.

There is no doubt that Starmer screwed up and his judgment is not good enough for a PM. But can anyone tell me who, within the Labour Party or without, is in a position to do a better job? There are remarkably few capable statespeople in Parliament.
